God-Bothering: An Australian Literary Review Discussion

In partnership with the Australian Literary Review, editor Stephen Romei leads a panel through a substantial discussion of the places where ideas and literary commentary meet.

In the wake of several visits to Australia from high-profile atheists, it’s time to take stock of how questions of faith and religion are handled in an Australian context. To coincide with the release of two major new histories of Christianity in Australia, our panel pick apart how secular Australia writes about and talks about God.
